Featured Interview on The Frostcast - Part Deux

Oops, I did it again.  With the help of Jonathan Nadeau, and making another appearance on the Frostcast.  In this episode we had a very specific discussion on the personal cloud project that I'm working on at the house. 

We talk about the hardware and the server applications being run up to present in more detail than I've covered on the Tin Foil Hat Show to date.  So please, check out his podcast. 

I did discover during this interview that the shownotes for the Tin Foil Hat show are handi-accessible which makes me very happy.  As always I had a great time chatting with Jonathan, and I'm really looking forward to more from him in the future.   I've linked to Jonathan's welcome announcement at the FSF's intern program.  And make sure to stay tuned to all the Frostbitemedia podcasts to hear about his upcoming projects that he told me about off-line.

Featured Interview on The Frostcast

Hey CafeNinja fans, yes there is one of you.  I just wanted to say that I was interviewed on Jonathan Nadeau's podcast called the Frostcast in association with his entire Frostbite empire.

I have a lot of respect for Johnathan and try to treat him as any other of our geek peers as he has done an amazing job of standing on his own and being independent.  If you want to know more about why that may or may not be impressive, please visit his blog site, store and 4 podcasts he produces and be as impressed with him as I am.

In this interview (which was long) we talk about a wide range of topics most of which are Tin Foil Hat related, so please go find his Frostcast feed or search for "Frostcast" in iTunes, and have a listen.  Probably you should subscribe since I will be doing a follow up interview with him in regards to my personal cloud server experiment.  Never mind that he has great content and has had some really good interviews.

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 012

Episode 12. In this episode there were updates on a few bits of legislation that are going through and I get on my soapbox a little bit more than usual.  I gave a quick update on the Personal Cloud project and remind everyone to double check any extensions as new flavors of Firefox are coming up and just around the corner.

This episode's Podcast review was The Kernel Panic Oggcast.  I also talk about oggcasts as well as ways to play them.

Podcast Review Promo material

I'm a bad podcaster, but I have proven that I am a worse producer.

Here is all the promo material that was sent to me after I requested it.  To the defense and credit of these podcasters they were replying to my message that I was ususally sending as recording or just before and none of them really had time to get back to me before post-production was done.

But I did want everyone to hear the promo material that I didn't have for podcasts that I have reviewed that WAS sent to me.

So first for Keith and the Girl, Chema (the glorious) sent me the link to their promo video.



Dann from The Linux Link Tech Show, who I caught on vacation with my request for promo material, sent me the intro music for the show as well as the newest and greatest audio promo for their podcast.


Again, my apologies to the the other podcasters out there that I have "snubbed" by not getting their promo material before I released my podcast, I will confess without exception, that this was always my fault and not theirs.

Enjoy these promo reels and I'll try to give the next "victim" advance notice.  :)

Home Server deployment - Part 1

So I got a home server (nettop system dual core atom).  I'm migrating my current server applications from the wife's desktop (always on) system to the new low power consumption system.

Here is what I ordered:
Shuttle XS35GT Barebones Nettop (No OS) (1.66GHz, 2GB, 500GB, No Monitor)

So I have already migrated dnsmasq (copy config and hosts files), ddclient to update the "way home", nzb grabber and samba which is the method I've gone to since my mythtv setup went bonkers in my 10.10 upgrade.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server to ensure stability.  I'm hoping it should prevent issues with stability.

I've got on the list to re-deploy mythtv, asterisk, openarena-server, a LAMP stack with some CMS system that will let the wife have/manage a website, statusnet and if possible I'll try to set up a server to receive the mozilla sync or xmarks in such a way that my "personal cloud" should be close.

I'm making a conscious choice to not migrate email as that system needs to be higher availability and accessibility than my home dsl and system can manage.

I'll try to chronicle my tales here.  So far it's been pretty easy to migrate servers by installing the server and then moving the configuration file.  The biggest issue so far has been me who forgets network orientation (one IP vs. another) or file permissions.  Outside of that, it's been pretty easy.
